Fifty years since Allied victory, here is World War II as remembered by twenty-one Americans who experienced it. These oral histories recount surviving combat, enduring captivity, dealing with wounds and with the death of comrades, avoiding friendly fire, and accumulating points toward discharge. Combined, they present a vivid picture of military service during the only war this country has fought without reservation and with certainty that its cause was just. Each story is illustrated with photos from the personal collections of the veterans.
